Last year: Naraka Chaturdashi 2026 – Sunday 8 November 2026

Naraka Chaturdashi, Ashwayuja Bahula Chaturdashi, is the day before Deepavali: Krishna and Satyabhama killed Narakasura at dawn, so the abhyanga snanam with oil and lamps is taken before sunrise (arunodaya) and the first crackers are lit in the evening. When the chaturdashi covers the pre-dawn of two days the second one, next to Deepavali, is taken; in some years (2026 in India) it falls on the same civil day as Deepavali.

Tithi timing

Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, arunodaya (the two muhurtas before sunrise); the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.

How the date is decided

Ashwayuja bahula chaturdashi at arunodaya (pre-dawn abhyanga snana); vriddhi -> second day.
